00:42:35,666 --> 00:42:37,875
Said I'm giving you
a good thing here, buddy.

706
00:42:39,750 --> 00:42:43,458
I wanna get some shots of your ugly
old mug sitting next to a pretty lady.

707
00:42:44,625 --> 00:42:48,250
Come on, she likes lanky old studs
like yourself. Come on.

708
00:42:52,083 --> 00:42:53,958
What's going on here, mister?

709
00:42:54,041 --> 00:42:56,500
Oh, come on, Jesus Christ, huh?

710
00:42:57,833 --> 00:43:00,750
Pay attention. It's like I said,
you're gonna fuck my wife

711
00:43:00,833 --> 00:43:03,125
and I'm gonna take some pictures,
that's all.

712
00:43:04,791 --> 00:43:05,708
Your wife?

713
00:43:06,916 --> 00:43:07,791
Come on.

714
00:43:09,208 --> 00:43:11,125
I've never heard of such a thing.

715
00:43:12,041 --> 00:43:13,875
I thought you was a good Christian--

716
00:43:13,958 --> 00:43:16,666
Shut the fuck up
and get that welfare suit off, son.

717
00:43:18,083 --> 00:43:20,625
-Jesus.
-Well, I've been run through the wringer!

718
00:43:22,458 --> 00:43:24,625
Do you really want these hands
touching you?

719
00:43:24,708 --> 00:43:25,791
Oh, come on, sweetie.

720
00:43:25,875 --> 00:43:29,625
We'll just take a few pictures and then
the big dumb bastard will leave us alone.

721
00:43:29,708 --> 00:43:32,458
Woman... look at me.

722
00:43:33,875 --> 00:43:36,583
-[Carl] Do what I say, you son of a bitch.
-[gun cocks]

723
00:43:44,625 --> 00:43:45,583
No, I ain't.

724
00:43:45,666 --> 00:43:47,041
[breathing heavily]

725
00:43:49,791 --> 00:43:51,166
[Carl] Oh, Jesus.

726
00:43:57,541 --> 00:43:59,916
Carl, maybe we should just
get out of here.

727
00:44:01,375 --> 00:44:02,416
Oh, forget it. Jesus.

728
00:44:02,500 --> 00:44:04,208
-[Sandy] I'm cold, Carl.
-I know it's cold

729
00:44:04,291 --> 00:44:06,833
[narrator] Roy looked up
at the clouds drifting by and wondered

730
00:44:06,916 --> 00:44:10,583
if that's what death would be like,
just floating away in the air.

731
00:44:13,083 --> 00:44:16,541
He preached on it for years,
but still didn't know what to expect.

732
00:44:18,125 --> 00:44:19,541
Just one thing.

733
00:44:20,041 --> 00:44:21,125
Yeah, what's that?

734
00:44:22,250 --> 00:44:23,833
Her name is Lenora.

735
00:44:25,500 --> 00:44:27,125
What the fuck you talking about?

736
00:44:29,958 --> 00:44:30,958
My little girl.

737
00:44:32,291 --> 00:44:33,708
-Lenor--
-[gunshot]

738
00:44:35,791 --> 00:44:37,000
[gunshot]

739
00:44:40,583 --> 00:44:41,416
[Carl] Come on.

740
00:44:41,500 --> 00:44:44,041
[narrator]
This was still early days for the pair,

741
00:44:44,125 --> 00:44:46,541
and Carl was still working out
the particulars.

742
00:44:46,625 --> 00:44:47,583
[Carl] God damn...

743
00:44:47,666 --> 00:44:51,375
He realized that he would have
to get more selective with his models

744
00:44:51,458 --> 00:44:53,208
if he wanted to keep Sandy onboard.

745
00:44:53,291 --> 00:44:56,208
[Carl] Get some shots off down there
while the light's still good.

746
00:45:07,166 --> 00:45:08,833
[car door opens and closes]

747
00:45:08,916 --> 00:45:10,375
[man] Good day, ma'am.

748
00:45:10,458 --> 00:45:12,000
-You Emma Russell?
-Yes.

749
00:45:14,375 --> 00:45:17,583
[man] I have some papers for you to sign
and the boy here's all yours.

750
00:45:17,666 --> 00:45:18,833
Here, let me have that.

751
00:45:20,291 --> 00:45:21,291
[door opens]

752
00:45:25,833 --> 00:45:26,875
[Emma] Arvin?

753
00:45:31,250 --> 00:45:33,291
Here, you give me that heavy old bag.

754
00:45:36,500 --> 00:45:37,875
[cries] Oh...

755
00:45:39,375 --> 00:45:40,541
[sobs]

756
00:45:43,833 --> 00:45:45,166
[Emma clicks tongue] Oh...

757
00:45:47,416 --> 00:45:48,791
Oh, sweetie,

758
00:45:48,875 --> 00:45:51,208
we are so happy you're here.

759
00:45:54,041 --> 00:45:55,291
This here is your...

760
00:45:55,958 --> 00:45:57,416
your Uncle Earskell.

761
00:45:57,916 --> 00:45:58,791
Hey, there.

762
00:45:59,958 --> 00:46:02,083
This is Lenora.

763
00:46:03,750 --> 00:46:05,875
Lenora is your stepsister.

764
00:46:06,500 --> 00:46:07,541
Hi, Arvin.

765
00:46:10,291 --> 00:46:11,125
Hi.

766
00:46:23,083 --> 00:46:24,250
[Emma] Here we go.

767
00:46:38,500 --> 00:46:40,416
[Earskell] Oh, here we go.

768
00:46:40,500 --> 00:46:44,458
-[Lenora] Happy birthday, Arvin.
-[Emma] Happy birthday, honey.

769
00:46:44,541 --> 00:46:46,833
-[Lenora] Happy birthday!
-[Emma] Oh, no.

770
00:46:47,625 --> 00:46:51,000
[Lenora] ♪ Happy birthday to you ♪

771
00:46:53,333 --> 00:46:55,291
Happy birthday.

772
00:46:55,375 --> 00:46:57,291
[both chuckle]

773
00:46:58,041 --> 00:46:59,333
[inhales deeply]

774
00:46:59,416 --> 00:47:00,333
All right.

775
00:47:02,375 --> 00:47:04,958
[Emma] Make a wish
before that candle burns out.

776
00:47:05,041 --> 00:47:07,000
[Earskell] It looks like a dandy cake.

777
00:47:10,791 --> 00:47:13,041
-Arvin!
-All right, hang on.

778
00:47:17,875 --> 00:47:20,000
[plates clinking]

779
00:47:20,625 --> 00:47:21,541
[Arvin] Thank you.

780
00:47:24,666 --> 00:47:25,625
[clears throat]

781
00:47:26,916 --> 00:47:27,750
Well...

782
00:47:28,708 --> 00:47:30,250
This was your daddy's.

783
00:47:31,208 --> 00:47:32,166
[Earskell sighs]

784
00:47:48,125 --> 00:47:49,125
[Emma] What's that?

785
00:47:50,833 --> 00:47:52,958
[Easrkell]
That's Willard's gun he gave me.

786
00:47:53,666 --> 00:47:55,416
I figure it's time to pass it on.

787
00:47:56,875 --> 00:47:58,250
That's a German Luger.

788
00:47:59,416 --> 00:48:01,083
Brought back from the war.

789
00:48:02,916 --> 00:48:06,083
I... got no use for handguns myself.

790
00:48:06,166 --> 00:48:08,166
But I figure he'd want you to have it.

791
00:48:15,750 --> 00:48:19,291
[sniffles] It's the best present
I ever got. Thank you, Uncle Earskell.

792
00:48:20,500 --> 00:48:22,375
Shotgun's what'll do you good.

793
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:26,500
Maybe, but I don't have
anything else of his, so...

794
00:48:27,083 --> 00:48:28,375
thank you. [sniffles]

795
00:48:31,125 --> 00:48:32,666
Time does pass.

796
00:48:35,416 --> 00:48:36,666
[boy] Get down there.

797
00:48:36,750 --> 00:48:40,250
[narrator] Boys in school liked
to pick on Lenora for her pious manner

798
00:48:40,333 --> 00:48:41,625
and pinched face.

799
00:48:42,125 --> 00:48:46,083
[boy] You're so damn ugly, I'd need a sack
over your head just to get a hard-on.

800
00:48:46,583 --> 00:48:50,083
[narrator] Gene Dinwoodie,
Tommy Matson, and Orville Buckman

801
00:48:50,166 --> 00:48:53,541
had managed to corner her
by the dumpster behind school.

802
00:48:53,625 --> 00:48:56,083
[boy] Probably fucked your brother,
you brother fucker.

803
00:48:57,583 --> 00:48:58,708
[Arvin] Hey!

804
00:49:00,708 --> 00:49:03,916
-[boy] Come on, get him!
-[Lenora] Please stop! Stop!

805
00:49:05,333 --> 00:49:06,458
God dammit! [grunts]

806
00:49:06,541 --> 00:49:07,875
[groans]

807
00:49:07,958 --> 00:49:10,250
-[Arvin] Get the fuck off me!
-[Lenora] Stop it!

808
00:49:10,333 --> 00:49:11,916
[Arvin] Get off of me! Fuck!

809
00:49:12,416 --> 00:49:14,791
[narrator]
Arvin loved her like his own sister.

810
00:49:14,875 --> 00:49:17,708
-[boy] Sister fucker.
-He would do anything to protect her.

811
00:49:18,833 --> 00:49:20,958
No matter what the weather was,

812
00:49:21,041 --> 00:49:23,750
Lenora would visit her mother's grave
after school.

813
00:49:24,708 --> 00:49:27,208
Some days
she'd even read the Bible out loud,

814
00:49:27,291 --> 00:49:29,166
and imagine her mother was listening.

815
00:49:30,250 --> 00:49:32,083
Though he wasn't one for praying

816
00:49:32,666 --> 00:49:35,166
Arvin would often drive her
and keep her company.

817
00:49:36,333 --> 00:49:37,500
[Lenora] Arvin?

818
00:49:44,875 --> 00:49:47,500
It was a sight
you didn't end up in the hospital.

819
00:49:48,291 --> 00:49:52,000
Yeah, well, there's a lot of no good
sons of bitches out there. [grunts]

820
00:49:52,583 --> 00:49:56,250
Well, Lord, Arvin, you've been saying that
almost since the day I met you.

821
00:49:56,875 --> 00:49:58,625
You know, that's because it's true.

822
00:50:00,708 --> 00:50:03,875
Maybe you should try praying for 'em then.
Would that hurt none?

823
00:50:05,500 --> 00:50:09,333
You already do enough for all of us,
and where's it doing you much good, huh?

824
00:50:10,500 --> 00:50:12,125
You know what would do you good?

825
00:50:12,791 --> 00:50:16,416
To not be wandering behind school
by your own self, like I told you.

826
00:50:18,083 --> 00:50:19,625
Fuckin' Gene Dinwoodie.

827
00:50:23,750 --> 00:50:25,208
Do you ever think about...

828
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:28,458
how we ended up orphans
living in the same house?

829
00:50:30,625 --> 00:50:31,583
No.

830
00:50:32,583 --> 00:50:34,666
Besides, you might not even be an orphan.

831
00:50:35,625 --> 00:50:37,458
As far as everybody
around here is concerned

832
00:50:37,541 --> 00:50:40,333
your daddy's probably still out there
somewhere alive and kicking.

833
00:50:42,500 --> 00:50:46,000
Fuck, he might even come over that hill
any day now, dancing a jig.

834
00:50:47,916 --> 00:50:49,083
[chuckles] I hope so.

835
00:50:50,666 --> 00:50:52,583
I pray every day he will.

836
00:50:53,916 --> 00:50:55,625
Even if it means he did something?

837
00:50:56,250 --> 00:50:58,083
I've already forgiven him.

838
00:50:58,583 --> 00:50:59,500
Hm.

839
00:51:00,833 --> 00:51:02,041
We could start over.

840
00:51:03,750 --> 00:51:05,250
That's crazy.

841
00:51:05,333 --> 00:51:06,458
No, it's not.

842
00:51:11,125 --> 00:51:12,291
What about your father?

843
00:51:16,083 --> 00:51:17,208
What about him?

844
00:51:18,583 --> 00:51:20,041
I know what my daddy did.

845
00:51:24,750 --> 00:51:25,666
Well...

846
00:51:26,916 --> 00:51:28,458
forgivin' him...

847
00:51:29,708 --> 00:51:30,875
if he could come back.

848
00:51:30,958 --> 00:51:33,791
Well, shut your mouth. We both know
that ain't never gonna happen.

849
00:51:35,250 --> 00:51:36,875
I'm sorry for bringing it up.

850
00:51:36,958 --> 00:51:38,333
[sighs] It's all right.

851
00:51:40,208 --> 00:51:43,875
You know,
I appreciate you always coming with me.

852
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:49,625
I know you'd probably rather
be doing something else.

853
00:51:51,750 --> 00:51:54,416
We're kin.
We gotta look out for each other.

854
00:51:54,500 --> 00:51:56,083
[man] Lenora! Arvin!

855
00:51:56,708 --> 00:51:57,541
C'mere!

856
00:51:57,625 --> 00:51:58,625
[man coughs]

857
00:51:58,708 --> 00:52:00,041
I might be gone a while.

858
00:52:00,708 --> 00:52:02,041
[man coughs]

859
00:52:02,125 --> 00:52:03,416
I'll be praying for you.

860
00:52:03,500 --> 00:52:04,458
[man coughs]

861
00:52:05,291 --> 00:52:06,583
[man] In the meantime...

862
00:52:07,500 --> 00:52:08,416
[grunts]

863
00:52:09,666 --> 00:52:11,916
my sister's boy from down in Tennessee

864
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:13,875
is gonna come up and take my place.

865
00:52:15,250 --> 00:52:17,333
He just graduated from one of them...

866
00:52:17,875 --> 00:52:19,166
Bible colleges.

867
00:52:20,041 --> 00:52:24,250
Well, I would appreciate it if you all
would try and make him feel welcome.

868
00:52:26,208 --> 00:52:29,625
Tell your grandmama I'm asking folks
to bring a dish next sermon.

869
00:52:29,708 --> 00:52:30,666
[Lenora] Of course.

870
00:52:31,666 --> 00:52:33,916
[man 2] What you got planned
after school, Arvin?

871
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:36,916
Cliff Baker says he can get me
on the crew laying blacktop

872
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:39,583
on the Greenbrier stretch off Route 60.

873
00:52:39,666 --> 00:52:40,583
[man 2] Yeah.

874
00:52:40,666 --> 00:52:42,541
I'm probably just gonna do that. You?

875
00:52:42,625 --> 00:52:44,916
Oh, my old man's holding me here.

876
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:48,000
Better than getting shipped off
to Vietnam I expect.

877
00:52:48,500 --> 00:52:49,708

01:14:25,750 --> 01:14:26,750
It's really rare.

1228
01:14:27,333 --> 01:14:28,625
It's got special bullets.

1229
01:14:28,708 --> 01:14:29,916
Untraceable.

1230
01:14:30,958 --> 01:14:32,125
[Lee] Untraceable.

1231
01:14:32,208 --> 01:14:33,791
[loud bang, cutlery clanking]

1232
01:14:33,875 --> 01:14:34,875
[waitress] Sorry!

1233
01:14:36,250 --> 01:14:40,333
[Leroy] Word starts going around Sheriff's
got his eye on the girls at Tecumseh.

1234
01:14:41,125 --> 01:14:42,958
That's gonna cost me my money.

1235
01:14:44,250 --> 01:14:47,083
Me losing money
is gonna cost you your cut.

1236
01:14:48,041 --> 01:14:49,708
It didn't have anything to do with you.

1237
01:14:50,916 --> 01:14:51,875
It does now.

1238
01:14:53,541 --> 01:14:56,708
Bobo, you ever go and beat the shit
outta someone I made my money off?

1239
01:14:58,041 --> 01:14:58,916
[Bobo] No.

1240
01:14:59,500 --> 01:15:02,166
Never crossed my mind,
thinking about that.

1241
01:15:05,791 --> 01:15:08,291
Guy running against me
is going door-to-door

1242
01:15:08,375 --> 01:15:11,208
telling folk I look the other way
when it comes to Sandy.

1243
01:15:13,708 --> 01:15:15,000
Bobo, don't eat my scraps.

1244
01:15:16,375 --> 01:15:17,625
Give over the envelope.

1245
01:15:23,250 --> 01:15:24,208
[Leroy sniffles]

1246
01:15:34,708 --> 01:15:35,958
There's debt you owe me.

1247
01:15:37,375 --> 01:15:39,500
What I'm gonna lose at the bar.

1248
01:15:39,583 --> 01:15:40,750
Horse shit.

1249
01:15:40,833 --> 01:15:42,416
You ain't losing nothing there.

1250
01:15:43,041 --> 01:15:44,000
[Leroy] Yeah?

1251
01:15:44,583 --> 01:15:47,208
And you know that
'cause you're a loaded diaper

1252
01:15:47,291 --> 01:15:49,208
like everyone else who works for me

1253
01:15:49,291 --> 01:15:51,750
or because all of Meade
knows you're dirty?

1254
01:15:53,333 --> 01:15:54,208
[sniffles]

1255
01:16:01,166 --> 01:16:03,416
That's your weekly earnings
'til we're square.

1256
01:16:05,708 --> 01:16:07,708
Now, get the fuck out of my diner. [sighs]

1257
01:16:09,666 --> 01:16:12,625
[narrator] Bodecker knew
that Leroy and his errand boy Bobo

1258
01:16:12,708 --> 01:16:15,541
would kill him soon enough
if he made any more trouble.

1259
01:16:17,500 --> 01:16:19,500
He had an election to think about

1260
01:16:19,583 --> 01:16:21,708
and couldn't afford any liabilities.

1261
01:16:22,416 --> 01:16:26,333
[Leroy] My bar is off limits and so is
your whore sister, you understand?

1262
01:16:27,875 --> 01:16:29,416
[man] Thanks for stopping.

1263
01:16:34,125 --> 01:16:35,083
[door closes]

1264
01:16:40,666 --> 01:16:43,875
-[Sandy] What's your name, sweetie?
-Private Gary Matthew Bryson.

1265
01:16:44,375 --> 01:16:45,750
[Sandy] That's a nice name.

1266
01:16:46,458 --> 01:16:50,208
[Carl] You sound like you're at roll call.
Relax, boy.

1267
01:16:50,291 --> 01:16:52,000
[Sandy] Which of them you go by?

1268
01:16:52,083 --> 01:16:55,875
Gary. That was my dad's name,
so at home, I'm Gary Matthew.

1269
01:16:55,958 --> 01:16:58,333
[Sandy] Matthew?
That's from the Bible, ain't it, Carl?

1270
01:16:58,416 --> 01:17:00,416
[Carl] Everything's from the Bible, honey.

1271
01:17:00,500 --> 01:17:02,916
Hell, Ol' Matthew,
he's one of the Apostles.

1272
01:17:03,416 --> 01:17:06,041
You probably knew your name
came out of the Bible, didn't you?

1273
01:17:07,541 --> 01:17:10,125
[Gary] We didn't go to church much
when I was a kid.

1274
01:17:11,083 --> 01:17:12,708
But you've been baptized, right?

1275
01:17:13,500 --> 01:17:14,791
[Gary] Of course.

1276
01:17:14,875 --> 01:17:16,041
We ain't heathens.

1277
01:17:16,125 --> 01:17:18,250
I just don't know much
about the Bible is all.

1278
01:17:18,750 --> 01:17:19,625
Good.

1279
01:17:21,666 --> 01:17:24,375
Lord knows where a person
who ain't saved might end up.

1280
01:17:25,041 --> 01:17:27,166
Hm... Right now it looks like Vietnam.

1281
01:17:30,541 --> 01:17:34,958
[Sandy] It's beautiful, isn't it?
All them trees just going up, up, up.

1282
01:17:36,208 --> 01:17:37,583
That's a good picture.

1283
01:17:38,791 --> 01:17:39,791
[Gary] Sure is.

1284
01:17:41,625 --> 01:17:43,208
You're a nice boy, Gary.

1285
01:17:47,125 --> 01:17:48,375
[Carl humming]

1286
01:17:48,458 --> 01:17:50,416
[Gary] Thanks for inviting me to lunch.

1287
01:17:57,458 --> 01:17:58,750
What do you say we eat, huh?

1288
01:17:59,500 --> 01:18:01,083
[Sandy] What do you want, Gary?

1289
01:18:01,166 --> 01:18:02,583
[Gary] Uh, bologna's good.

1290
01:18:02,666 --> 01:18:04,875
Bologna? You want cheese?

1291
01:18:05,666 --> 01:18:06,625
Yes, please.

1292
01:18:07,166 --> 01:18:08,041
Okay.

1293
01:18:13,166 --> 01:18:14,750
-[Gary] Thank you.
-[Sandy chuckles]

1294
01:18:15,250 --> 01:18:16,416
Here you go, hon.

1295
01:18:27,833 --> 01:18:28,833
[Sandy] Gary?

1296
01:18:30,083 --> 01:18:31,208
Oh, no, thank you.

1297
01:18:31,291 --> 01:18:32,500
You don't drink?

1298
01:18:32,583 --> 01:18:34,083
I don't hold it very well.

1299
01:18:34,625 --> 01:18:36,125
Usually gets me in trouble.

1300
01:18:36,708 --> 01:18:37,625
Well, come on.

1301
01:18:38,708 --> 01:18:40,791
You mean to tell me
you're not gonna have a drink

1302
01:18:40,875 --> 01:18:42,458
with a pretty little thing like her?

1303
01:18:46,708 --> 01:18:48,125
[Gary] Oh, what the hell. [chuckles]

1304
01:18:48,208 --> 01:18:49,125
[Carl] Yeah.

1305
01:18:50,333 --> 01:18:51,458
[Gary clears throat]

1306
01:18:52,041 --> 01:18:53,541
Whoo! That'll wake you up.

1307
01:18:53,625 --> 01:18:54,833
[Sandy and Gary laugh]

1308
01:18:55,208 --> 01:18:57,333
-[Gary] Here.
-No, you go on and take another one.

1309
01:18:59,083 --> 01:19:00,708
-[Gary] Cheers.
-[Carl] Cheers.

1310
01:19:05,791 --> 01:19:06,833
I got an idea.

1311
01:19:08,583 --> 01:19:10,666
Seeing as we might not
see one another again...

1312
01:19:12,166 --> 01:19:14,291
we oughta record this for posterity.

1313
01:19:15,333 --> 01:19:16,333
[Gary clears throat]

1314
01:19:18,166 --> 01:19:20,666
-[Gary] You mean a picture?
-[Carl] Damn right, I mean a picture.

1315
01:19:20,750 --> 01:19:22,541
-Sure, I'm game.
-That's the spirit.

1316
01:19:23,041 --> 01:19:26,208
[Carl] I'll tell you what, Private.
Why don't you just...

1317
01:19:26,291 --> 01:19:29,166
lie down on that blanket there
on your side.

1318
01:19:30,250 --> 01:19:31,333
[Gary] Like that?

1319
01:19:31,416 --> 01:19:32,416
Like that.

1320
01:19:33,416 --> 01:19:35,375
Now, take that bottle and hold it

1321
01:19:35,916 --> 01:19:37,750
like you got it on you all the time.

1322
01:19:40,250 --> 01:19:41,208

01:23:34,500 --> 01:23:35,375
[chuckles]

1401
01:23:37,708 --> 01:23:40,000
Saw Fred Dinwoodie over there.

1402
01:23:40,083 --> 01:23:42,458
He said his boy is just about healed up.

1403
01:23:44,333 --> 01:23:46,916
I still think
you could have held back a little bit.

1404
01:23:48,458 --> 01:23:50,541
Well, he ain't bothered Lenora since.

1405
01:23:51,916 --> 01:23:53,750
Him or his candy-ass buddies.

1406
01:23:54,416 --> 01:23:57,416
I gotta go check in on her.
She ain't been feeling too good.

1407
01:23:58,166 --> 01:24:00,833
You keep an eye on her for me
while we're at church.

1408
01:24:00,916 --> 01:24:01,916
[Lenora retches]

1409
01:24:03,791 --> 01:24:04,625
[coughs]

1410
01:24:05,125 --> 01:24:08,750
[narrator] Lenora had stopped asking Arvin
to join her at Helen's grave.

1411
01:24:09,333 --> 01:24:10,791
He didn't mind much.

1412
01:24:11,291 --> 01:24:13,416
His mind
would always drift back to Willard

1413
01:24:13,500 --> 01:24:16,166
and the prayer log and his poor dog Jack.

1414
01:24:17,625 --> 01:24:20,666
Besides, he'd gotten a job
working on the road crew

1415
01:24:20,833 --> 01:24:22,625
and was busy making some money.

1416
01:24:26,000 --> 01:24:28,208
[inhales] I never missed church before.

1417
01:24:29,541 --> 01:24:30,791
[panting]

1418
01:24:32,625 --> 01:24:34,416
[breathing heavily]

1419
01:24:35,250 --> 01:24:36,833
I'm so ashamed.

1420
01:24:39,500 --> 01:24:41,541
You ain't got nothing to be ashamed of.

1421
01:24:41,625 --> 01:24:44,625
I'm sure the Lord will forgive you
for missing one Sunday.

1422
01:24:45,791 --> 01:24:48,625
Ol' Jesus probably had
his fair share of bad mornings.

1423
01:24:50,083 --> 01:24:51,208
[chuckles]

1424
01:24:54,333 --> 01:24:55,791
[whispers] I love you, Arvin.

1425
01:25:04,791 --> 01:25:06,041
[Lenora sighs]

1426
01:25:06,125 --> 01:25:07,750
How's about we, uh... [sniffles]

1427
01:25:08,333 --> 01:25:10,500
go see your mama's grave
when you're better?

1428
01:25:13,291 --> 01:25:14,375
Sound all right?

1429
01:25:17,041 --> 01:25:18,666
[Preston] The good book...

1430
01:25:18,750 --> 01:25:21,458
is filled with good men

1431
01:25:22,125 --> 01:25:23,375
and women

1432
01:25:23,458 --> 01:25:25,458
suffering delusions.

1433
01:25:27,083 --> 01:25:28,666
Eve in the garden.

1434
01:25:29,916 --> 01:25:30,916
Noah...

1435
01:25:31,500 --> 01:25:33,208
naked, drunk.

1436
01:25:33,875 --> 01:25:35,958
Bringing shame upon his family.

1437
01:25:37,416 --> 01:25:40,041
The idol
the Jews bowed before in the desert.

1438
01:25:43,458 --> 01:25:47,125
And even the Lord Jesus himself
was presented with delusions in the desert

1439
01:25:47,208 --> 01:25:49,500
that only through his faith...

1440
01:25:50,125 --> 01:25:51,500
and his strength...

1441
01:25:52,125 --> 01:25:53,791
-overcame.
-[man 1] Mm-hmm.

1442
01:25:54,291 --> 01:25:55,500
[man 2] Praise Jesus.

1443
01:25:57,000 --> 01:26:01,041
The Lord's delusion in the desert
was a game...

1444
01:26:02,708 --> 01:26:05,458
of the so-called "Devil."

1445
01:26:08,166 --> 01:26:10,458
And what the Lord experienced...

1446
01:26:11,541 --> 01:26:15,041
was a delusion
that would've kept him from saving us!

1447
01:26:15,541 --> 01:26:17,875
But he did not fall for it!

1448
01:26:20,333 --> 01:26:22,583
It is our delusions

1449
01:26:22,666 --> 01:26:24,541
that lead us to sin.

1450
01:26:27,083 --> 01:26:30,958
Striking a mother or a wife
for something that you thought they said.

1451
01:26:32,750 --> 01:26:35,833
Neglecting work or Sunday service,
for that matter.

1452
01:26:35,916 --> 01:26:37,541
[man] Right. You said it.

1453
01:26:38,375 --> 01:26:39,583
Some girl...

1454
01:26:40,250 --> 01:26:43,583
gets a feeling for a fella
and lets him have her holy gift.

1455
01:26:47,875 --> 01:26:49,750
Delusions!

1456
01:26:51,041 --> 01:26:55,166
Blaspheming the Lord
in your mind and in your heart

1457
01:26:55,250 --> 01:26:58,500
for some wrong done to you
by another person.

1458
01:26:58,583 --> 01:26:59,666
[man] That's true.

1459
01:27:02,583 --> 01:27:03,958
You're saying you don't...

1460
01:27:05,000 --> 01:27:07,833
remember all the things
we did in your car?

1461
01:27:11,500 --> 01:27:13,166
I'm saying you must be crazy.

1462
01:27:13,250 --> 01:27:16,750
Coming in the Lord's house
and talking all this trash.

1463
01:27:19,458 --> 01:27:21,458
Look, my advice to you, girl...

1464
01:27:23,458 --> 01:27:25,208
is you figure some way to get rid of it.

1465
01:27:26,666 --> 01:27:28,041
'Cause otherwise...

1466
01:27:29,041 --> 01:27:32,500
it's gonna be you, a whore mother,

1467
01:27:33,500 --> 01:27:36,500
and her little bastard child
running around,

1468
01:27:36,583 --> 01:27:39,833
living in that poor old woman's house
who raised you.

1469
01:27:41,625 --> 01:27:44,125
If nothing else, think of her.

1470
01:27:44,791 --> 01:27:47,041
She'll die from the shame of it all.

1471
01:27:59,625 --> 01:28:00,708
Come on.

1472
01:28:17,333 --> 01:28:18,208
Come on.

1473
01:28:33,375 --> 01:28:36,458
[narrator] Lenora suddenly knew
she was making a mistake.

1474
01:28:37,916 --> 01:28:39,791
Grandma wouldn't be ashamed

1475
01:28:40,375 --> 01:28:42,791
and she and her baby would be okay.

1476
01:28:45,833 --> 01:28:47,125
[choking]

1477
01:29:00,708 --> 01:29:02,583
Oh, my God!
Oh, my God!

1478
01:29:02,708 --> 01:29:05,000
No! No! No!

1479
01:29:05,083 --> 01:29:06,250
[yells] Grandma!

1480
01:29:07,000 --> 01:29:08,166
Grandma!

1481
01:29:08,333 --> 01:29:10,208
No, no, no!

1482
01:29:13,250 --> 01:29:14,458
Grandma!

1483
01:29:15,375 --> 01:29:16,375
[grunts]

1484
01:29:17,208 --> 01:29:19,083
[somber violin music playing]

1485
01:29:19,500 --> 01:29:20,958
Grandma! [grunts]

1486
01:29:23,375 --> 01:29:26,166
[narrator] No one would know
she wasn't a suicide

1487
01:29:26,541 --> 01:29:29,875
and that in the end,
she was all right with her maker.

1488
01:29:30,333 --> 01:29:31,416
Oh, Lord.

1489
01:29:33,958 --> 01:29:36,458
There's just some things
we can't understand.

1490
01:29:40,291 --> 01:29:42,333
But you take her into your arms.

1491
01:29:42,916 --> 01:29:44,291
[Emma sobbing]

1492
01:29:50,083 --> 01:29:51,375
Uh, ain't somebody...

1493
01:29:52,875 --> 01:29:54,250
saying prayers or...

1494
01:29:55,000 --> 01:29:56,000
[clears throat]

1495
01:29:57,375 --> 01:29:59,583
[somber music continues playing]

1496
01:30:01,166 --> 01:30:02,708
[Emma sobs]

1497
01:30:08,083 --> 01:30:09,500
[breathes heavily]

1498
01:30:12,833 --> 01:30:13,750
[sniffles]

1499
01:30:23,916 --> 01:30:25,666
[indistinct chatter]

1500
01:30:32,041 --> 01:30:33,833
[man 1]
Need to have a word with you, Arvin.

1501
01:30:33,916 --> 01:30:35,750
-[man 2] All right, see ya, buddy.
-[man 3] Yep.

1502
01:30:35,833 --> 01:30:36,833
See ya tomorrow.

1503
01:30:37,333 --> 01:30:38,458
[Arvin] About what?

1504
01:30:40,875 --> 01:30:41,958
[man 1] It's, uh...

1505
01:30:45,000 --> 01:30:46,208
It's about Lenora.

1506
01:30:50,791 --> 01:30:51,791
What about her?

1507
01:30:54,625 --> 01:30:57,250
I came by here instead of home
so nothing's...

1508
01:30:57,958 --> 01:30:59,250
put on your grandmother.

1509
01:31:00,958 --> 01:31:02,333
"Put on"? What do you mean?

1510
01:31:03,875 --> 01:31:04,791
Well...

1511
01:31:07,416 --> 01:31:09,333
ol' Dudley, in the Coroner's...

1512
01:31:10,333 --> 01:31:12,000
I ain't never heard of no Dudley.

1513
01:31:13,000 --> 01:31:15,541
Well, he's a drunk...
but he ain't no liar.

1514
01:31:17,750 --> 01:31:20,291
Did you know Lenora was carrying a baby?

1515
01:31:26,458 --> 01:31:27,625
That's bullshit.

1516
01:31:28,541 --> 01:31:30,125
That son of a bitch is lying.

1517
01:31:31,708 --> 01:31:32,708
I tell ya...

1518
01:31:33,875 --> 01:31:35,166
Dudley ain't a liar.

1519
01:31:36,458 --> 01:31:39,708
He came to me privately
so as your family knew.

1520
01:31:40,541 --> 01:31:41,791
I felt he was right.

1521
01:31:47,458 --> 01:31:50,541
Now, I might've put my foot
in something. It...

1522
01:31:51,166 --> 01:31:52,625
wasn't my intentions.

1523
01:31:55,666 --> 01:31:58,250
You know that preacher
ain't said no words for her.

1524
01:32:00,541 --> 01:32:02,458
Not for people that kill themselves.

1525
01:32:29,833 --> 01:32:31,833
[engine starting]

1526
01:32:38,875 --> 01:32:40,875
[engine revving]

1527
01:32:47,208 --> 01:32:49,041
[moaning]

1528
01:33:01,000 --> 01:33:01,916
[Preston grunts]

1529
01:33:21,708 --> 01:33:23,500
[engine starting]

1530
01:33:57,666 --> 01:33:58,625
[grunts]

1531
01:33:59,250 --> 01:34:00,666
[inhales deeply]

1532
01:34:11,083 --> 01:34:12,000
[sighs] Uncle...

1533
01:34:12,083 --> 01:34:15,375
[narrator] Arvin wanted so much
to be able to tell them goodbye,

1534
01:34:16,000 --> 01:34:18,708
but they would be better off
not knowing anything

1535
01:34:18,791 --> 01:34:20,833
if the law came looking for him.

1536
01:34:20,916 --> 01:34:22,708
You have to be good to Grandma.

1537
01:34:26,625 --> 01:34:29,750
You know that she ain't hardly been out
of her bed since the funeral?

1538
01:34:30,666 --> 01:34:31,583
Yeah.

1539
01:34:32,833 --> 01:34:34,041
Grandma needs you.

1540
01:34:36,000 --> 01:34:36,958
All right?

1541
01:34:49,916 --> 01:34:51,916
[somber violin music playing]

1542
01:35:35,208 --> 01:35:36,375
[Arvin] Dear Grandma...

1543
01:35:37,166 --> 01:35:40,625
I'm writing to you
because I cannot say goodbye to your face.

1544
01:35:41,333 --> 01:35:45,375
I love you and I will always remember
the things that you have done for me.

1545
01:35:45,458 --> 01:35:46,416
[door creaks open]

1546
01:35:46,500 --> 01:35:49,666
What I'm about to do,
I do because I have to,

1547
01:35:49,750 --> 01:35:51,291
not because I want to.

1548
01:35:51,958 --> 01:35:53,833
Please do not try and find me.

1549
01:35:53,916 --> 01:35:56,375
Love, your grandson, Arvin.

1550
01:36:01,208 --> 01:36:02,250
[lip smacking]

1551
01:36:03,500 --> 01:36:05,166
[Arvin breathes shakily]

1552
01:36:09,333 --> 01:36:11,166
[breathing shakily]

1553
01:36:13,000 --> 01:36:14,208
[exhales]

1554
01:36:19,083 --> 01:36:20,125
[quietly] Excuse me.

1555
01:36:23,000 --> 01:36:24,041
[clears throat]

1556
01:36:24,125 --> 01:36:25,125
Excuse me.

1557
01:36:25,208 --> 01:36:26,250
Preacher?

1558
01:36:30,250 --> 01:36:31,750
Got time for a sinner?

1559
01:36:35,250 --> 01:36:38,125
I've been doing wrong
and I wanna get right by the Lord.

1560
01:36:42,541 --> 01:36:44,208
Well, that's what I'm here for.

1561
01:36:48,208 --> 01:36:49,125
I've done...

1562
01:36:51,250 --> 01:36:52,708
lustful acts.

1563
01:36:55,875 --> 01:36:56,833
Yeah.

1564
01:36:58,041 --> 01:37:00,000
That could be a big problem.

1565
01:37:00,666 --> 01:37:02,125
Especially for the young people.

1566
01:37:03,791 --> 01:37:05,208
Go on, tell me about it.

1567
01:37:07,041 --> 01:37:09,041
I got me a pretty wife at home.

1568
01:37:10,375 --> 01:37:12,791
One that'll do pretty much anything I ask.

1569
01:37:14,625 --> 01:37:16,083
But I treat her real bad.

1570
01:37:17,833 --> 01:37:19,416
Well, when you say anything,

1571
01:37:19,500 --> 01:37:21,208
what do you mean?

1572
01:37:23,583 --> 01:37:24,791
Just what I said.

1573
01:37:26,791 --> 01:37:30,208
Sometimes she'll be going down
on me with...

1574
01:37:30,708 --> 01:37:32,166
[breathing shakily]

1575
01:37:32,875 --> 01:37:34,375

somewhere up here on the right.

1753
01:48:03,791 --> 01:48:05,916
-Here?
-[Carl] No, a little further.

1754
01:48:06,000 --> 01:48:08,625
Little further. Slow down.
Turn in right here.

1755
01:48:08,708 --> 01:48:09,666
This is good.

1756
01:48:36,750 --> 01:48:37,958
[Carl] Right here.

1757
01:48:38,500 --> 01:48:39,625
Yeah, this'll work.

1758
01:48:45,958 --> 01:48:47,083
I won't be long.

1759
01:48:48,500 --> 01:48:49,833
[Carl groans]

1760
01:48:49,916 --> 01:48:50,833
[door bangs shut]

1761
01:48:54,791 --> 01:48:56,083
[Carl sighs]

1762
01:49:04,666 --> 01:49:06,666
[Sandy opens match box]

1763
01:49:12,208 --> 01:49:13,333
Oh, shoot.

1764
01:49:25,916 --> 01:49:28,458
[Carl] Damn.
That's gonna be one fine sunset.

1765
01:49:29,125 --> 01:49:32,500
You have to be patient with me
while I get a few shots off.

1766
01:49:33,833 --> 01:49:34,916
Hon, give me the key.

1767
01:49:36,000 --> 01:49:38,583
Don't you worry none.
We've got some hooch in the back and...

1768
01:49:38,666 --> 01:49:39,791
[breathes heavily]

1769
01:49:39,875 --> 01:49:41,875
Well, Sandy's good company.

1770
01:49:43,500 --> 01:49:45,166
[birds chirping]

1771
01:49:50,791 --> 01:49:52,625
[narrator] The thought of killing Carl

1772
01:49:52,708 --> 01:49:54,541
and taking off
with the boy in the backseat

1773
01:49:54,625 --> 01:49:56,291
suddenly crossed Sandy's mind.

1774
01:50:00,333 --> 01:50:02,000
[Carl muttering]

1775
01:50:03,083 --> 01:50:06,791
He was young, but that didn't mean
she couldn't make it work.

1776
01:50:17,875 --> 01:50:19,916
Tell you what, son. Why don't you ste--

1777
01:50:20,416 --> 01:50:21,958
[shoots twice]

1778
01:50:22,041 --> 01:50:23,291
[Arvin panting]

1779
01:50:23,958 --> 01:50:26,750
[Sandy gasps] Shit!

1780
01:50:26,833 --> 01:50:27,791
[both gasp]

1781
01:50:27,875 --> 01:50:29,791
[Sandy] No! Calm down, please!

1782
01:50:29,875 --> 01:50:31,791
I don't wanna shoot you! Put the gun down!

1783
01:50:32,458 --> 01:50:33,916
-I don't want to shoot.
-I'm so sorry!

1784
01:50:38,791 --> 01:50:39,708
[gasps]

1785
01:50:41,916 --> 01:50:42,916
[groans]

1786
01:50:43,541 --> 01:50:45,625
[Sandy] Carl, you want sandals or heels?

1787
01:50:45,708 --> 01:50:46,625
Heels.

1788
01:50:47,750 --> 01:50:49,250
[Carl singing]

1789
01:50:49,333 --> 01:50:52,333
[narrator] Serial murderers
aren't the most trusting kind.

1790
01:50:53,125 --> 01:50:57,166
Carl brought the additional quality
of being maniacally paranoid.

1791
01:50:59,166 --> 01:51:02,458
Sandy's behavior
before they left home made him uneasy,

1792
01:51:02,958 --> 01:51:07,166
and Carl thought it'd be better if he was
the only one with a loaded weapon.

1793
01:51:07,250 --> 01:51:08,458
[Carl singing]

1794
01:51:10,166 --> 01:51:12,291
Poor Sandy never stood a chance.

1795
01:51:12,458 --> 01:51:15,041
[groans, breathes heavily]

1796
01:51:16,583 --> 01:51:18,458
Her gun was loaded with blanks.

1797
01:51:20,833 --> 01:51:23,083
[Arvin panting]

1798
01:51:42,083 --> 01:51:43,291
[narrator] Jim Lacey.

1799
01:51:43,458 --> 01:51:45,208
New Burlington, Indiana.

1800
01:51:46,333 --> 01:51:49,416
Carl never photographed
a more symmetrical face.

1801
01:51:49,958 --> 01:51:52,375
This photo really meant something to him.

1802
01:51:52,708 --> 01:51:54,083
Jim had been their first.

1803
01:51:54,166 --> 01:51:55,833
[breathing heavily]

1804
01:52:39,333 --> 01:52:42,333
[radio] Sheriff Bodecker,
this is Deputy Howser. Come in. Over.

1805
01:52:43,708 --> 01:52:44,666
Sheriff, you there?

1806
01:52:44,750 --> 01:52:48,250
A farmer called in a double homicide
off the 506. I need you here.

1807
01:52:59,125 --> 01:53:00,833
I'm sorry, Lee. This is fucked up.

1808
01:53:01,333 --> 01:53:02,291
What do you mean?

1809
01:53:02,875 --> 01:53:04,291
It's your sister and her husband.

1810
01:53:10,583 --> 01:53:12,041
[man] Carl was shot twice.

1811
01:53:12,791 --> 01:53:13,875
Sandy once.

1812
01:53:17,500 --> 01:53:19,333
It looks like it was a nine millimeter.

1813
01:53:19,416 --> 01:53:21,083
Sandy got one shot off but...

1814
01:53:22,125 --> 01:53:23,708
her gun was loaded with blanks.

1815
01:53:31,375 --> 01:53:33,583
-[whispers] Jesus Christ.
-[man] Lee?

1816
01:53:37,958 --> 01:53:40,166
Give me a couple minutes here
alone with her.

1817
01:53:45,375 --> 01:53:47,958
[narrator] She'd always been
sort of fucked up,

1818
01:53:48,041 --> 01:53:51,416
but Lee blamed Carl
for the way she'd gone downhill.

1819
01:53:52,125 --> 01:53:55,958
Regardless of all that,
she was still his baby sister.

1820
01:54:01,708 --> 01:54:05,208
But the sheriff couldn't help but think
of his own situation for a moment.

1821
01:54:06,041 --> 01:54:08,166
He thought about that photo
he found of her

1822
01:54:08,250 --> 01:54:10,458
and worried about what else
people might find

1823
01:54:10,541 --> 01:54:12,125
if he didn't get to it first.

1824
01:55:48,125 --> 01:55:49,666
Reverend Roy Laferty,

1825
01:55:50,166 --> 01:55:51,791
Durham, North Carolina.

1826
01:55:52,500 --> 01:55:55,916
Though the poor fucker had been
completely worthless as a model,

1827
01:55:56,458 --> 01:55:58,750
Carl was insistent on keeping a record

1828
01:55:58,958 --> 01:56:02,208
of both his successes and his failures.

1829
01:56:42,208 --> 01:56:43,208
[man] Howdy.

1830
01:56:44,541 --> 01:56:46,000
You look like you've been traveling.

1831
01:56:49,333 --> 01:56:50,916
-Yeah.
-Where you headed?

1832
01:56:53,750 --> 01:56:56,750
There used to be a house and a barn
up on the hill over there.

1833
01:56:56,833 --> 01:56:58,791
Some lawyer owned it. You know it?

1834
01:56:58,875 --> 01:56:59,875
Sure I do.

1835
01:57:00,666 --> 01:57:02,083
Up in the Mitchell Flats.

1836
01:57:03,708 --> 01:57:04,666
Still there?

1837
01:57:07,000 --> 01:57:08,291
Well, I'll be damned.

1838
01:57:09,458 --> 01:57:11,041
You're that Russell boy, ain't you?

1839
01:57:14,583 --> 01:57:18,250
I just thought, seeing as I was this way,
I'd stop by and see the old place again.

1840
01:57:19,666 --> 01:57:21,125
[dog barking in the distance]

1841
01:57:21,208 --> 01:57:25,250
[sighs] Son, I hate to tell you this,
but that place burned some years ago.

1842
01:57:25,333 --> 01:57:27,000
They think some kids did it.

1843
01:57:27,500 --> 01:57:30,416
Wasn't nobody ever living there
since you and your folks.

1844
01:57:30,958 --> 01:57:34,000
Well, heck, I come all this way,
I may as well walk up there anyways.

1845
01:57:34,083 --> 01:57:37,833
Sure, just cut across Clarence's pasture.

1846
01:57:37,916 --> 01:57:39,166
He won't say nothing.

1847
01:57:41,166 --> 01:57:42,166
[thunder rumbling]

1848
01:57:47,916 --> 01:57:50,541
I never did thank you
for the night my dad died.

1849
01:57:52,333 --> 01:57:53,666
You were awful kind of me,

1850
01:57:53,750 --> 01:57:56,333
and I just want you to know
that I ain't never forgot it.

1851
01:57:57,166 --> 01:58:00,250
You had that pie smeared
all across your face.

1852
01:58:00,791 --> 01:58:04,208
Damn Bodecker thought it was blood.
Remember that?

1853
01:58:04,875 --> 01:58:07,083
Yeah, I remember everything
about that night.

1854
01:58:08,666 --> 01:58:10,500
He ain't the lawman that I expected.

1855
01:58:11,333 --> 01:58:12,833
Shame about his sister though.

1856
01:58:13,500 --> 01:58:14,791
Why? What happened?

1857
01:58:14,875 --> 01:58:17,291
Well, his sister and her husband
were found dead.

1858
01:58:17,833 --> 01:58:19,458
Not far from Meade.

1859
01:58:24,416 --> 01:58:25,375
You come back to see me.

1860
01:58:26,666 --> 01:58:28,125
We'll sit out and drink some beer.

1861
01:58:29,041 --> 01:58:30,125
I'll do that.

1862
01:58:31,375 --> 01:58:32,458
[man] Lee.

1863
01:58:32,541 --> 01:58:36,166
Got a call from Sheriff Thompson
in Lewisburg, West Virginia.

1864
01:58:36,250 --> 01:58:38,041
Wants you to call him back
as soon as possible.

1865
01:58:38,125 --> 01:58:41,000
[Thompson]
I had a man shot down here two days back.

1866
01:58:41,083 --> 01:58:42,583
He was a preacher.

1867
01:58:42,666 --> 01:58:45,708
And we're suspecting it's a boy
that used to live up around your parts.

1868
01:58:45,791 --> 01:58:46,833
That right?

1869
01:58:47,333 --> 01:58:48,583
How'd he kill the man?

1870
01:58:48,666 --> 01:58:50,416
A couple shots.

1871
01:58:50,500 --> 01:58:53,916
Pistol. Probably a Luger
that the boy's known to have.

1872
01:58:55,291 --> 01:58:57,625
-That's a nine millimeter, ain't it?
-That's right.

1873
01:58:59,750 --> 01:59:01,333
What'd you say the boy's name was?

1874
01:59:01,416 --> 01:59:04,000
I didn't say, but it's Arvin Russell.

1875
01:59:04,083 --> 01:59:07,000
Both of his parents died up around there,
as I understand it.

1876
01:59:07,083 --> 01:59:09,875
Father was a suicide,
and he's been living down here

1877
01:59:09,958 --> 01:59:11,625
with the grandmother and the uncle.

1878
01:59:12,125 --> 01:59:14,666
Listen, I don't think the boy's dangerous.

1879
01:59:15,541 --> 01:59:19,000
From what I'm hearing,
this preacher might've deserved killing.

1880
01:59:19,083 --> 01:59:19,916
Is this boy driving?

1881
01:59:20,916 --> 01:59:21,791
Could be.

1882
01:59:21,875 --> 01:59:25,500
He owns an ol' busted up Chevy 3100, '54.

1883
01:59:25,583 --> 01:59:28,000
I don't know
that it'd make it all the way up there.

1884
01:59:28,083 --> 01:59:30,291
At this point, he might be hitchhiking.

1885
01:59:30,375 --> 01:59:33,000
Dark hair, not bad looking. Quiet.

1886
01:59:33,083 --> 01:59:34,083
[sighs]

1887
01:59:38,708 --> 01:59:40,250
Who's gonna bury Jack?

1888
01:59:45,916 --> 01:59:46,750
I don't know.

1889
01:59:48,416 --> 01:59:50,791
I don't know
who's gonna wanna touch that thing.

1890
01:59:56,333 --> 01:59:58,750
[sighs] Look, kid...

1891
02:00:00,083 --> 02:00:03,208
my daddy didn't do anything
like what your daddy did up there,

1892
02:00:03,291 --> 02:00:05,958
but he did up and leave me,
my mama, and my sister.

1893
02:00:07,958 --> 02:00:11,375
He just went off to the shoe factory
one morning and never came back.

1894
02:00:12,166 --> 02:00:14,916
And there was nothing to do
but forget his sorry ass.

1895
02:00:18,125 --> 02:00:21,041
Some people were born
just so they could be buried.

1896
02:00:27,583 --> 02:00:29,250
[birds chirping]

1897
02:01:39,458 --> 02:01:41,458
[sighs, sniffles]

1898
02:02:18,541 --> 02:02:22,208
[narrator] Arvin thought about the days
leading up to his mother's death,

1899
02:02:22,291 --> 02:02:25,083
how Willard wanted so much
for her to live.

1900
02:02:25,750 --> 02:02:28,000
His father
would have done anything to save her.

1901
02:02:28,625 --> 02:02:32,291
Fuck the blood and stink,
the heat and the insects.

1902
02:02:32,833 --> 02:02:33,791
Anything.

1903
02:02:34,291 --> 02:02:36,250
Arvin said to himself.

1904
02:02:36,750 --> 02:02:38,000
[barking in the distance]

1905
02:02:38,083 --> 02:02:42,083
And suddenly he realized,
standing in his father's church,

1906
02:02:42,583 --> 02:02:44,541
that he'd had no other choice,

1907
02:02:45,458 --> 02:02:48,791
that Willard had needed to go
wherever Charlotte went.

1908
02:02:54,833 --> 02:02:56,916
[footsteps approaching]

1909
02:03:28,833 --> 02:03:30,291
Arvin Russell!

1910
02:03:32,125 --> 02:03:33,666
I know you're down there somewhere!

1911
02:03:35,208 --> 02:03:37,125
It's Sheriff Bodecker, son!

1912
02:03:38,875 --> 02:03:40,416
Got some questions to ask you!

1913
02:03:48,250 --> 02:03:49,333
[gunshot]

1914
02:03:49,833 --> 02:03:50,791
[gun cocking]

1915
02:03:50,875 --> 02:03:52,166
Sorry about that!

1916
02:03:54,416 --> 02:03:56,208
Goddamn bird scared me.

1917
02:04:00,625 --> 02:04:02,083
I ain't here to hurt you!

1918
02:04:05,458 --> 02:04:08,000
And I know that you don't wanna hurt me!

1919
02:04:10,000 --> 02:04:12,166
Come on out so we can have us a talk!

1920
02:04:16,916 --> 02:04:18,000
[gun cocks]

1921
02:04:18,083 --> 02:04:19,875
[panting] Okay.

1922

his mind began taking him places.

1986
02:09:44,958 --> 02:09:48,416
He started to think maybe the law
would recognize he had done good.

1987

Maybe he'd be forgiven.

1988
